New evidence compares micro-ultrasound and MRI fusion biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Find out ...
October 16, 2009 — Clinicians should consider magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for men who have elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels or some other "worrisome" prostate cancer variable, but ...
There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...
Ultra-high-field 5 T MRI improves prostate cancer image quality and diagnostic performance versus 3 T. Learn more about its potential.
Credit: Thinkstock By 5 years, 92% of men recovered pad-free continence, and 87% had preserved erectile function sufficient for penetration. MRI-guided whole-gland transurethral ultrasound ablation ...
A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...
New recommendations prioritise multiparametric MRI, safer transperineal biopsy, and earlier escalation for high-risk prostate-specific antigen relapse.
Omitting systematic biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and negative MRI results, and performing only targeted biopsy of MRI-positive lesions, eliminated more than half ...
The MRI-based prostate biopsy risk stratification tools with the greatest accuracy were the RPCRC-MRI and PLUM models Among MRI-based risk calculators for prostate biopsy, 2 models provide more ...
